Application filed November 1,1916. Serial No. 129,970. 7

' To all whom it may concern 7 Be it known that I, STERLING H. CAMP,- BELL, a citizen of the United States of Amere ica, residing at thecity of St. Louis, State of Missouri, United States of America, have invented a'certain new and useful Angle- Cock Holder, of which the following is such a full, clear, and exact descriptionas will enable any one skilled in the artto which it appertains to make and 'use the' same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to an angle cock holder, and more particularly to one which can be adjusted in thejdirection of the length of the train pipe to accommodate pipes of varying lengths.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate two forms of angle cock" holder made in accordance with my invention, Figure 1 is aside view, the angle cock being shown in dotted lines; Fig. 2 is a front view of the part shown in Fig; 1, the angle cock and train pipe being omitted; Fig. 3 is a view similar to view of Fig. 1, but showing a modification; Fig. 4 is a front 'view'of the parts shown inFig. 3, the holder and a U- bolt being detached; Fig. 5 is a side view of the holder shown inFigs. 8 and 4; Fig. 6 is a detailed view of the beveled washer used in connection with the modification shown inFig.3. r

Like marks of reference refer to similar parts in theiseveral views of the drawings. 10 represents a portion of arailway car, to

which the angle cock holder is adapted to be attached.

11 represents a train pipe, and 12 the an-I gle cock. In the forms shown in Figs. land 2 of the drawings the train pipe 11; extends some'distance below the part 10 of the car to which the holder is to be attached. In this construction a plate 14 issecured to the car 10 by means of rivets or bolts 15,'passing through holes 16 near the upper edge of the said plate 14. Formed in the plate 14' is j an opening 17, corresponding in shapeto the body of the angle cock holder 18, but somewhat larger. 7 The'angle cock holder 18'is in general form somewhat. similar'to-"that shown in my prior PatentNo..1,03l,419 of July 2nd, 1912, the angle cock beingheld in position in the holder by means of a cotter pi1119. The holder, however, differs from grooves 20, formed in the lower part there- STERLING H. CAMPBELL, or s1. Louis, MIss0uaI," AssIe1\Ioaro RAILWAY nnvrons I of and arranged in the direction of its 7 length, so that' thegrooves are adapted to V 6O engage with the loweredge of the opening '17,,and thus positively adjust the holder in" the direction of the length of the train pipe 11, so as to enable the holder to be'used with 'train'pipes of varying lengths In order to prevent the recesses 20from becoming disengaged from the lower edge of-the holder 17, Iprovide a member 21, which is pivoted to the plate 14 just above the opening 17 by means of a rivet or bolt 22, which rivet or bolt allows the said member 21 to be turned upwardly to permit the insertion or removal of the holder 18. It can also'be' turned downwardly to [prevent the said holder from being raised out of engagement with the lower edge of the opening 17 as shown in the drawings.

In' Figs. 3 to 6 I have shown a modified form of holder for use whereth'e train pipe 11 passes directly below the part 10 of the car to which. the holder is to be attached.

In this construction I use a two-part holder 24, which is somewhat similar to the holder been described in connectionwith the holder shown in Figs. 1 and 2.- These grooves 20 ing around said holder and through open- The'upwardly extending ends of the bolt 25 are engaged bye beveled washer 26, shown are adapted to engage with a U-bolt 25, pass-. 1

ings formed in the flange of the part 10.. H r

in detail in Fig. 6, the use of which washer gives alsurfa'ce 'at rightangles' to the direction of the length of the bolt forlthe engagement of nuts 27 by means of which the allow the. U-bolt to move down out of enthe holder 24 can be adjusted longitudinally .parts are held together; It will be evident T that by loosening the nuts 27sufiiciently to to suit varying lengthsof train pipe,buti,

that after'the bolt has been brought into engagement with the notches and tightened, thepartswillbe firmly held in their. proper p osition;

and

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

1. In an angle cock holder, the combination with a receiver adapted to engage the head of an angle cock and prevent its rotation, of means adapted to engage the said receiver at different points in the direction of its lengthand positively securing it to a-railway car.

2. In an angle cock holder, the combination with a receiver adapted to engage the head of an angle cock and prevent its rotation, of a plurality of recesses formed in said receiver in thedirection of its length, and means adapted to engage with one of said recesses and thus positively secure said receiver to a railway car.

3. In an angle cock holder, the combination with a receiver adapted to engage the head of an angle cock and prevent its rotation, said receiver having recesses formed in the direction of its length, of a plate provided with an opening for the passage of said receiver, the edge of said opening-being adapted to engage with said recesses, and means for holding said edge in engagement with said recesses.

4. In an angle cock holder, the combi- Copies of" this patent may be obtained for nation with a receiver adapted to engage the body of the angle cock and prevent its rotation, said receiver being provided with recesses arranged in a direction of its length, of a plate provided with an opening for the passage of said receiver, the edge of said opening being adapted to engage with said recesses, and pivotally mounted means for holding said edge in engagement with said recesses.

5. In an angle cock holder, the combination with a receiver adapted to engage the head of an angle cock and prevent its rotation, of a removable member carried by said receiver and adapted to engage with the front face of the angle cock head and prevent the removal of the angle cock from the receiver, the body of said receiver being provided with a plurality of recesses, of a plate provided with an opening for the passage of the body of said receiver,the edge of said opening being adapted to engage with one of said recesses, and a member carried by said plate for holding said edge in engagement with said recesses.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and aflixed my seal.
